GigaBit SX to TX Converter

Seamless media conversion between GigaBit fiber and copper devices

install guide data sheet

Net Optics GigaBit SX to TX Converters are simple and reliable devices for connecting GigaBit fiber traffic to copper devices and links. Use these bi-directional media converters individually to connect GigaBit copper and fiber devices, or in pairs at each end of long-distance fiber links. These Converters are the perfect solution for dispersed networks where media conversion required between copper network segments separated by long distances.

Fast and Versatile

The GigaBit SX to TX Converters support seamless media conversion at 1000 Mbps over link distances up to 550 meters with 50/125 multimode fiber and up to 5 kilometers with singlemode fiber. The Converter supports either full or half-duplex transmission with optional auto-negotiation over the fiber link and UTP port.

Reliable

Net Optics GigaBit TX to SX/LX Converters features Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) to control jitter over long optical links. CDR ensures that the overall jitter budget is not exceeded when deploying converter pairs with long fiber links.

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Converters offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Converter automatically switches to the backup power source.
